<p>On Nov. 1st, CARV community interviewed Jaka Berdnik, Senior Growth Manager of Angelic, to dive deeper into the game development and philosophy behind the game.</p>
<h3 id="strong-introduction-of-the-team-and-game-strong"><strong>Introduction of the team and game</strong></h3>
<p>Angelic is being developed by Metaverse Game Studios. Our founder Erkan started it in 2016, and got hold off for a while before making a fascinating demo in 2020. We have an amazing core team full of veterans from Crytek, Bungie, Oculus, Riots, Ubisoft and Netflix etc., and they have worked on well-known games like <em>Far Cry</em>, <em>Halo</em>, <em>Diablo</em>, <em>League of Legends</em> etc.. In 2021 we raised 10 millions funding led by Animoca and Pantera.</p>
<p>The game itself is a dark science fiction themed, narrative strategy and role play game with turn based combat. It’s taking place in a collaborative universe that we enhanced with certain blockchain elements. We see ourselves primarily as a AAA game with heavy focus on gamers, so we would still be perceived as a strong game without the blockchain elements.</p>
<p>Each of our characters has a profound personality and background story. You will get to connect with them throughout the gameplay. And there’s no absolute good or bad in a dark sci-fi world, everyone has a bit of angel and devil. And it’s more about cooperation, managing the team in order to succeed.</p>
<h3 id="strong-the-word-collaboration-has-been-mentioned-repeatedly-in-angelic-can-you-tell-us-what-this-word-means-and-how-it-was-designed-into-the-game-strong"><strong>The word “collaboration” has been mentioned repeatedly in Angelic. Can you tell us what this word means and how it was designed into the game?</strong></h3>
<p>We’re trying to make Angelic a AAA game, not just a blockchain game. We want to enable players to safely trade property, such as hero skins, ships and weapons, etc. Angelic is governed in a decentralized way by DAO, through which players are given autonomy and voting rights. Our players can also contribute to the story of the game as well as influence the development of the game without sacrificing the game balance.</p>
<h3 id="strong-as-you-mentioned-angelic-is-a-standalone-aaa-game-even-without-blockchain-elements-why-did-you-guys-choose-to-make-it-a-web-3-game-what-is-your-thought-behind-it-and-how-does-blockchain-technology-empower-angelic-into-the-next-level-strong"><strong>As you mentioned, Angelic is a standalone AAA game even without blockchain elements. Why did you guys choose to make it a Web 3 game? What is your thought behind it and how does blockchain technology empower Angelic into the next level?</strong></h3>
<p>Freedom is one of the biggest reasons. Freedom to create and own. And we love to have more people onboard to collaborate together, to not just to have fun but also grow and shape angelic and our universe together.</p>
<h3 id="strong-quoting-from-erkan-bayol-the-ceo-of-angelic-play-to-earn-mechanism-kills-the-blocking-game-what-s-your-take-on-this-strong"><strong>Quoting from Erkan Bayol, the CEO of Angelic: “Play to Earn mechanism kills the blocking game”. What’s your take on this?</strong></h3>
<p>Our team agrees on that play-to-earn is too good to be true and not a long term mechanism. It relies on new players to join the game, but eventually the game will tumble. We want to avoid this and make Angelic a long term project. We think blockchain is an amazing supportive technology. We are trying to take the good elements from web2 and web3, and add them to Angelic. As our game is coming out in the next few months, we already established a very strong and engaging community of players. For example, we have 75,000 Twitter followers, 60,000 discord and telegram members.</p>
<h3 id="strong-can-you-talk-about-the-angles-of-chaos-poster-nfts-and-the-campaigns-strong"><strong>Can you talk about the Angles of Chaos poster NFTs and the campaigns?</strong></h3>
<p>It’s a collection of 8 unique posters and we run a separate campaign for each of them. We are trying to make it a fun experience for everyone leading up to our game launch that’s expected in January or Q1 2023. Poster holders are able to unlock rewards after burning them. We have done 2 campaigns so far. First was on Fractal and second one was done with Galxe. Our 3rd one is going to be on November 7th. Also we just announced that we are becoming multi-chain and are expanding to Ethereum.</p>
<h3 id="strong-so-q1-2023-is-the-public-release-strong"><strong>So Q1 2023 is the public release?</strong></h3>
<p>We are planning to release the game for our partners and investors by the end of 2022, and public NFT sales in January 2023, which aligns perfectly with our Angels of Chaos poster NFTs campaigns.</p>
<h3 id="strong-can-you-talk-about-the-3rd-campaign-coming-up-strong"><strong>Can you talk about the 3rd campaign coming up?</strong></h3>
<p>It’s going to be a special one as our community has been cheering for the direction we are going (becoming multi-chain). It will be on November 7th and on Ethereum. The NFT represents two of our infested heroes, Odile and Rumbrogon, both of which have a special story behind them.</p>
<h3 id="strong-besides-solana-and-ethereum-what-other-chains-are-you-supporting-strong"><strong>Besides Solana and Ethereum, what other chains are you supporting?</strong></h3>
<p>Currently it’s just these two. But we are being open minded and in touch with out community to see what their opinions will be. We are definitely considering opening up to two additional ones.</p>
<h3 id="strong-is-angelic-a-f2p-free-to-play-game-or-do-players-need-to-buy-nfts-to-start-strong"><strong>Is Angelic a F2P(free-to-play) game? Or do players need to buy NFTs to start?</strong></h3>
<p>The game itself is going to be free to play. We believe it should be available to a wider audience and players don’t need to purchase an NFT to start. you will be given 3 heroes to select in the beginning</p>
<p>What’s more, players are able to develop the game with the blockchain technology. They can create their own NFTs and guilds. We look forward to seeing our community becoming content providers and working with us closely, which can help us grow Angelic in all directions.</p>
<h3 id="strong-angelic-is-an-rpg-game-are-we-going-to-play-a-hero-and-explore-the-open-world-strong"><strong>Angelic is an RPG game. Are we going to play a hero and explore the open world?</strong></h3>
<p>The game is going to be very much about collaboration. You’ll be traveling around in a spaceship with your team to distant galaxies and planets. You will be landing on planets with your drop pods and helping civilians there. But you can also get to decide whatever you want to do, either good or bad.</p>
<p>We are keeping on building the multiplayer feature and making it accessible. Because different characters are equipped with different skills, players need to collaborate together to succeed.</p>
<h3 id="strong-what-makes-angelic-stand-out-from-so-many-web-3-games-strong"><strong>What makes Angelic stand out from so many Web 3 games?</strong></h3>
<p>First of all, we are primarily an AAA game. Although there are so many amazing blockchain games, only a few of them are going towards the AAA direction. Angelic is one of them. Also we have a novel combat system which we are excited to share with everyone soon. Additionally, we have our own unique IP and we see ourselves as a collaborative IP project.</p>
<h3 id="strong-what-s-your-future-plan-during-the-bear-market-strong"><strong>What’s your future plan during the bear market?</strong></h3>
<p>A lot of projects fail during this hard time, which means there will be more room for us to grow. Bear market can also push us to move forward and keep on growing our community.</p>
<p>Mostly we’re going to expand our partnerships and collaborate with other projects. Basically it’s a great time for us to grow.</p>
